What to Do When a Storm Floods Your Raleigh Bookstore Stockroom

A Raleigh Book Store Calls on SERVPRO for Storm Mitigation

Call SERVPRO Immediately to Attempt to Salvage the Book Inventory and Furnishings

Flood damage is the last thing any business owner would want to find in their stockroom after a storm. During an intense storm, it is easy for wind and rushing waters to cause debris to break a window or force open a door. An opening is all the rainwater needs to drain into your property and settle inside, and the stockroom of your bookstore is perhaps one of the worst places to be flooded. In these situations, it is good that there is adept help close.

There is no need to cover the expenses of professional water removal equipment to handle the damaging flood waters on your Raleigh property by yourself. Our skilled technicians can arrive at your business on your schedule to work out of sight when possible and come prepared with all of the equipment that they might need. Day or night, we can work the hours that work best for your business.
 
SERVPRO can remove the water from your property as quickly as possible with extractors and pumps. Depending on how much water is on your property, we can use portable extractors or truck-mounted ones. Our employees can identify if the water on your property has been contaminated by chemicals, or sewage, and recommend what should be kept or thrown away based on it. The final determination is yours.
 
After draining the water from your property, SERVPRO can clean up any debris and then proceed to dry out the structure of your property and belongings. We use tools like desiccant dehumidifiers and axial fans to encourage the evaporation of excessive moisture. We can also create a system to dry out wall cavities with our tools, to ensure everything dries evenly. SERVPRO can keep an inventory of the items you lost during the flood to make insurance claims easier on you.

Since a bookstore holds a very water-sensitive inventory, often books and ledgers can be non-salvageable. When possible, a freeze-drying process known as lyophilization can help salvage the pages and bindings in books.
 
When your property floods and it causes damage, do not hesitate. Call SERVPRO of North Raleigh & Wake Forest at (919) 790-1222.
